Cracked lips

[Grace_Hair]

Help!
I have my sisters wedding on Saturday. And I'm bridesmaid.
And I've spilt my lip (where the top and bottom lip join at the side).
It's been cracked/split for 1-2 weeks now with no sign of repairing!
I've been using blistex super duper stuff for cracked, dehydrated lips during the day every day. And Nivea lip butter every night.

Can you recommend anything else?

Hi there, Maybelline Baby Llips Dr Rescue I had the same problem and it helped me! I've just a number of different ones and they just don't work or they only work for a lil while! I put it on 24/7 and even before lipstick application! They are £4.50 each but a little while ago they were doing them as a gift in Tesco for Crimbo, 3 for £4.50! Hope this helps and have a great time! X

Cold sore cream heals those little cracks in the corner of your mouth really quickly.
I get them when I'm run down.
I also take B vits for it x

I've never had a cold sore but I have the cream for the cracks

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, Carmex lip balm or dr paw paw are all equally fab! I really suffer with dry lips in the winter and those are the only things that help me x

Carmex would be what I recommend. Nothing else works as well on my lips when they are dry and cracked.

Sorry ignore my comments.
I read it as when you get one of those sore cuts/cracks in the corner of your mouth.

So for dry lips then one of the good lip balms above or I use diprobase, it very cheap and can get it otc at the chemist.

Yeah it has cracked at the side. I figure it's because it's dried out?

My mum has always told me it's a vit b deficiency. They take so long to heal with just moisturising.
Honestly try some zorvirax, hopefully be good in a week X

Are you feeling run down and overworked? Look after yourself x

Don't worry lovely, I posted on the thread so I knew it was there and it still took me ages to find it

Hope you get it under control

Me too!
I'd ideally like a quick fix for Saturday. Hopefully the cold sore stuff will do that. But will start taking vits to prevent it happening again.

Carmex or the cocoa butter Vaseline always help me quickly [emoji4]
